Bringing together all known toxic spots in NYC, our handy map lets you know whether you should fear any health or financial woes when deciding to invest in a certain property.<\/p>\n<p>Look up the property, neighborhood, zip code or parcel you\u2019re interested in and see if there have been any toxic violations reported nearby. Furthermore, you can identify the exact type of toxicity reported in the area; ranging from oil spills to hazardous waste violations, please note that not all toxic spills are equally alarming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople shouldn\u2019t panic if they see an icon near a property they&#8217;re looking to buy. Not all icons are equally serious and some issues are much more benign than others&#8221;, explained Nancy Jorisch, a PropertyShark senior data analyst. &#8220;Because when you really, really zoom in, you realize that those icons tend to be clustered in certain areas. And where there\u2019s the occasional icon, there\u2019s a bunch of them that are coming from zoning changes, and the need to repurpose property in New York,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>In order to compile the data, we\u2019ve worked with Toxics Targeting, an environmental database website. The result is this <a title=\"NYC Toxic Sites Map\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/mason\/ny\/New-York-City\/Maps?map=nyc2&amp;x=0.6533333333333333&amp;y=0.5&amp;zoom=0&amp;basemap=default&amp;overlay=toxic&amp;tab=themes&amp;ll=40.7130630998563,-73.8691790385263\" target=\"_blank\">interactive map<\/a> that shows abandoned landfills, superfund sites, tank failures, gas and oil leaks, and other government-reported contamination threats spread across the map &#8211; some more serious than others.<\/p>\n<p>Look up any individual property report for NYC, and you\u2019ll find, among a wealth of other property information, our \u201cHazards &amp; Environment&#8221; section \u2013 a snapshot of the previously mentioned map. This information is helpful in understanding the hazards associated with the property, the address next to it, or the street where it&#8217;s located.
